How long on the market?

There's a closed florist shop for sale on Chippewa between Hampton and Kingshighway. It's a nice enough looking building, but for whatever reason, the place has not sold in over a year. Any theories why?

Hey, here is an idea: City leaders should put all their eggs in the basket to redo the arch grounds. Then get incompetent businessmen to work on jobs and neighborhoods. McKee culd turn that florist building into a trashed out shell in no time. It would be a change, and therefore an improvement, if I read St. Louis leadership correctly.

I mean, like why ask the question you asked, Bonasch? In this pay to play city, it is a wonder we have any businesses. Look at the level of imagination our leaders display: Redo the Arch grounds, Ballpark Village, the Bottle District. Meanwhile, our neighborhoods are not doing too well, and we are continuing to lose jobs and everything else. Take off your blinders, boy.
